Another Trump fraud lawsuit and here the Federal Judge is protecting the plaintiffs from Trump attacks by allowing them to remain anonymous. Trump’s like a mobster. He does not belong anywhere near the White House. He’s degraded our highest office. https://t.co/YEgRLjAD0F

While I agree we must bring home our troops as soon as possible, there is no plan in place to address the humanitarian disaster in Syria or advance negotiated peace. We MUST end these unauthorized wars, but the manner in which we do it matters. https://t.co/pocPxCUP8X

THIS – “Pompeo, Mattis and other members of the national security team prepared a list of talking points for Trump to tell Erdogan to back off, the officials said. But Trump ignored the script. Instead, the president sided with Erdogan.” https://t.co/9jw77tRiIo

-You don’t “pass” budgets, you adopt them-Congress adopts budgets, not the President-Lack of a budget doesn’t cause a govt shutdown-House and Senate *had* a budget in 2013-Obama was open to clean CR, Rs weren’t https://t.co/czuJqJuyLh

"Trump called Mattis and said he wanted to assassinate the dictator… Mattis told the president that he would get right on it. But after hanging up the phone, he told a senior aide: 'We’re not going to do any of that.'" https://t.co/dUBY1SlrwX

I am told to expect more resignations at the Pentagon in wake of Mattis. A senior US defense official tells me: “Make no mistake – Mattis is resigning in protest over the President's national security policies," a resignation based on "principle."

General Mattis was a comfort to many who were concerned about the path the Trump Admin would choose to take. His resignation letter is defined by statements of principle — principles that drove him to leave the Administration. All of us should be concerned at this time.

This statement from @senatemajldr is probably the strongest statement he has ever made in opposition to President Trump. This is a serious signal that the winds may be shifting pic.twitter.com/ZxRmKiJzmc

The foreign policy described by Gen. Mattis today has, for nearly 3/4 century, kept us from global war, empowered our economy, helped billions escape from poverty & opened freedom’s door around the world. His service, vision & character were a blessing. He will be greatly missed.

Oh hell. I remember when Mattis, John Kelly and Tillerson made a pact that one of them would always be babysitting Trump. With Mattis gone, #PresidentLoco is now without adult supervision. Be afraid, America. Be very, afraid.

Trump: If we don't get what we want, one way or the other… I will shut down the government … So I will take the mantle. I will be the one to shut it down. I'm not going to blame you for it. pic.twitter.com/zBr4gE1wrz

It would be super cool if all the reporters citing NBC's report on Brian Kolfage's ties to fake news propaganda network that was published *two hours* after MMFA's also noted that HE IS STILL DOING IT RN THAT IS HOW HIS CAMPAIGN GOT OVER 1 MILLION FACEBOOK INTERACTIONS

So the NBC "scoop" on Mueller wrapping up comes from Justice Department sources, sounds like acting AG's office. Not buying it, based on that. Probably a (weak) warning to special counsel, using reporters.

Seriously, how can someone still pretend this is true w a straight face?

The Democratic Party “is” progressives. I have no idea who you’ve been talking to, but this notion that we’ve all been just partying with the oil companies and the banks until you all woke up in 2016 is a real knee-slapper. https://t.co/JAKEG3DUAO

My guess is the real reason Beltway editors flipped out on the Red Hen owner is her noble action makes them look bad. Their willingness to rub elbows with baby jailers at D.C. parties is looking even more complicit.

The fact that Trumpers physically assaulting a restaurant unrelated to the controversy will attract less coverage than Red Hen declining to serve Sanders is a reminder that the actual issue here is the disproportionate clout of conservative propaganda television and not civility.
